s vol. so. WILMINGTON, N. C, FEIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1874. NO. 34. am: i::is ji i.vriox. It is s-.trango that nt this la'.e elav, now nearly ton years since the close of ti:o war. the press of the Northern cities--not alone the Radical purti.ni press, but some who claim to be in ilrpendent in all I'-olitieal issues should show sueh a genuine and la 7iicntal.le ignorance of the relative po sitions occupied towards each other l.y the whites and blacks in the South ern States. It is but two days travel from Wilminpton to New York, and less than three to Boston, and yet some of the papers of those two cities betray ju-it about as intimate a conception of the state of feeling in North Carolina, between the two races here, as they nre supposed t know regarding the British in ludia and the natives of that ; ountry, Even the New York 1I raid, which is, to all interests and purposes, the great metropolitan paper of North America, evinces a decided ignorance of the state of affairs. In its editoria' loader of Thursday last, that paper seems to tako the ground, to start with, that there is not only an antgon ism of color and a prejudice of race c?:iftii!g between the two people, but that there is a bitter and direct con flict of interests. It talks very pathet ically of the "forbearance" and fidelity .f the negroes during the war and tandem some very safe advice to tho whites in their intercourse with the blacks, looking to tho estahlisnment of a direct com muni ty of interest be tween the two. And yet none of the iiilviee givi-n by the Herald, but has 1kc: acted upon already by the white people in the South. it x.vs : There is only one method bv which it can be rescued from this malign influence, and that is by inspir ing tli negroes with confidence in tho I'rii r,d!y intention? and sincere good will of their white fellow citizens of tin-South. The whites must not seek to obstruct and humiliate, but to en ooiirge assist them. Their ambi tion to improve their condition, and rise in the r.ocial teale ought to be fos tered by all reasonable methods. Now wo respectfully submit to the . raid, that this "only one method" i which it speaka, lias been tried to the utmost, ps well ns several other "only or.e methods," v.-hich have not occurred to the 'Herald, and every one of them has proved a disastrous fail ure. The white men in the South, (and we can speak of our own personal knowledge, so far as North Carolina is concerned,) have used every endeavor of time, money and patience, to induce fi e negro to look upon them with at least as much confidence as he bestows on tho adventurous strangers who have personal ambition and individual greed to be promoted through the in fluence of their ballots. Previous to the war the utmost good feeling ex isted between thewhitcsand the blacks of this section. The war came and closed, and the negroes were made free r.t the expense of their white owners, n great many of whom were made to tnllv bankrupt by the enfranchisement of their slaves. They emerged from the wnr without a dollar, yet, at the s imc time, without one particle of ill will towards those who, whilom their slaves, were soon to be made their po litical eepials. If they cherished any hr.nl feelings at all, it was against tho e who had robbed them of their n.'-ans, without paving them a dollar of remuneration. As for the negroes themselves, there was no evidence t show that they then felt any of that hatred and distrust if the white race which have since be-e.-.me such distinguishing traits in their character; on the contrary, instances can be multiplied where the newly manumitted slaves refused to leave the protection of their late masters and were not willing to break up the trustful and confidential relations v.hich had so long existed between them. But following close in the foot-st.-psof tho closing shadows of the war, there came down upon us a horde of greedy locusts from the northern cities and fields, thirsting for power, greedy of gain, unscrupulous as to the m-'ans by which their ends might be attained and totally regardless of con-equenc-es to others than themselves. The result which was so soon fo:c shadowod was not long in accomplish ment and the negro race fell away from those whom they had known for a life time ns men of probity and trust and ave in their ready adherence to their new found friends, falsely eo-called. It. was in vain that the whites attempt ed to stem the tide. They reasoned and remrmstratetl with the blacks and ns-i,tod them in every way possible ; hut all in vain ; so strenuously and in sidiously had tho carpet-baggers anel their allies, apostate Southerners, in stilled their teachings into the minds oT the negroes that it was almost as much as hislife was worth if one dared to vote the Democratic ticket. This v. :;., in lt and ter since have the whites in vain labored to make frienels with the negroes, until the recent cam paigns when their efforts were given over and the Southern white people of the State saw no aid from Jupiter in pulling their cart out of the mire. Then our broad shoulders were placed to the wheel, and lo, the said cart is now not only out of the mire, but is rolli.ig along on the high and hard road to prosperity. I? there is to be au antagonism of color, the lines will not have been drawn by tho whites ; nor yet, Ave may say, by the blacks themselves, but by the adventurers, native and otherwise, who must either rule or ruin the old Ship of State. Yet, notwithstanding the utter fu tility of all of their past efforts, the whites stand ready and willing to always act the part of true friends to wards tho misguided blacks. They are rot willing, themselves, to force it to an issue when the two partie3 will be divided strictly by a color line. But they ask no favors and will make no further concessions. The time is past when they will humiliate themselves by begging of tho black man his vote aaei they will hereafter lean upon their own counsels and seek aid for them selves alone, on nil of the vital ques tions of the day. The negro has his rights under the law, equally so with the white man. Wo will light our own battles and gain our own victo ries victories which are as much for the material advantage and prosperity of one race as it is for tho other. The time will soon come, we trust, when the negro can be made to view the white men of tho Sonth in the light of friends, rather than foes, and when both races w ill work together at tho ballot-box for the lasting benefit of the Commonwealth. As for the Herald we suggest that it send a missionary through the Sonth to inquire into and elaborate moiv fully the few crude facts which we have given above. It can thus be of much benefit to itself as well as to tho people of the Southern States "with out regard to race, color or previous pnil t ion " i n-f inr! li nq t.t?i't- imti- . .- j , dred3 as tho thonsanels tho J It. raid j spent in the heart of Africa will make many a column of interesting matter lor its pages. Xc have been so accustomed, after each election, to take off our hat and bow our recognition of tho spleuelid services rendercel by Carteret county, that we regret very much that on this occasion this custom is "more hon ored ia tho breach rhan in the observ ance." We have published the official returns without pleasure, and we know that tho figures must mortify the true men of that gallant county. We arc not altogether satisfied of the real causes which have brought about this remarkable change in Cart eret. Almost every county in the State was aroused as the citizens of the State have never been aroused before, and the white men of North Carolina have, with more unanimity than ever, arrayed themselves in solid line ngainst the black coherts of Ih.iJi calism. And. yet while such counties as Wake and Wayne, and llichmond and glorious old Brunswick, havo re deemed themselves, wo hud Carteret partially turning aside from the true path. Local divisions doubtless have something to do with this, but surely thoughtful men will not jeopardize important elections in order to in dulge in family quarrel. I; is bat a poor excuse for peril ug the election of Waddell or MeKoy, because the pers ;u nominated for a minor office lives iu one or the other seetious of the county, or is more or less un popular. Thi3 will not do and shows an unhealthy state of public opinion, which should bo corrected. It surely could not be that the peo ple of Carteret were so infatuated with that political fraud, Appleton Oak smith, as to be willing to risk import ant elections for the doubtful legality of sending one to the Legislature, who to take his seat, must eleny under oath his repeated assertions of citizenship in a foreign country, which have found their way, in his own handwriting, in to the statute laws of the state. If iu tleeel this is the cause then ought these people to bo heartily ashamed of them selves, as they will soon doubtless be. This man appears to be a ad venturer with no fixeel purpose, n Jack O'Lanthern seeking to lead these de ceived people into financial quagmires, by holding forth great rail-road schemes, to bolster up which he quotes lorels and dukes and marquises, with out number, and, we suspect, without names anel estates. If he is not tho tool of an association of foreign hold ers of Special Tax Bonds or of some company seeking to turn our railroads from their legitimate purposes to build up tho railroad schemes of other States, ho is a political as well a3 a personal myth. We predict that the Democrats anel Conservatives who tup porteel and elected him will soon be heartily tired of their bargain. Tho ignorant negroes anel their base lead ers have nothing to repent, anel will chuckle over Carteret's discomfiture. Whatever, then, may havo been the cause of the falling off of tho vote and the Democratic-Conservative majori ties in Carteret, let us be glael that it was no worse that it did not involve the defeat of McKoy, Norment, Wad dell and Bell that most of the coun ty ticket was elected; and, above all, let us hope that it will provo a useful lesson in tho future. Let us express tho hepe that at the next election we may again be able to take off our hat as we greet that old time gallant county. si;.sjni.i; ki:pitiii.icax view The Washington Chronicle. Repub lican in politics, ia referring to tho Vicksburg election, well says: "If tho coloreel men iu the Southern States are to become useful anel worthy cit izens, it can never bo done by making the question of color an issue in the political canvass. This of necessity arouses the worst passions of both races, and in every instanco, thus far, has been the defeat of the coloreel men." The Chronicle adds: "The dif ficulty in theso cases is scarcely ever attributable to the colored men them selves, or leaders of their own race. It is generally occasioned by the selfish course of some debased white eleniagogues, who incite this feeling in the hope of gaining political office for themselves, and so long as this class of men are allowed any influence or control in public affairs in a city or State, so long will these unfortunate contests arise. Peace, harmony, and a united do-iro for tho public good, without reference to race or color, is the only security for the prosperity of the community; and the sooner the Southern country is rid of these pesti lent instigators, the better for all citi zens, whether white or black; and if they were to suffer from the summary punishment they seek to excite against their neighbors, the loss to the com munity would be small, and the pub lic benefit incalculably great." 'I'ISi: SANIIOICIV VICTIMS. Tho respectable Republicans of Massachusetts are endeavoring to bring Butler iuto elisgraco by reviving his connection with the Sanborn ceuitracts. The St. Louis llepubllcan ael vises them to handle tho matter carefully. It says Butler is not tho only Massa chusetts man connecteel with these contracts. There was a reppectable Republican namcel Boutwell, another by the name of Baufield, a third by the name of Richardson all Massa chusetts men, and all respectable Re publicans, who had as much to elo with the shameful business as Butler himself the only difference being that Puttier" fstood Up to Sahbom to th2 last, while tho others tricel to escape by laying the blame on one another's shoulders. If the Sanborn contracts could havo their full, fair effect, they would retiro half a tlozen first-class Massachusetts Republicans to an ig nominious obscurity. run political kkactio.x, And so it turns out that a few of the Northern Republican papers really have penetration enough to see, ane1 honesty enough to acknowledge, the victories recently gained by the Dem ocratic party. The New York 'usf Republican, a paper which is never afraid to speak its mind freely, no mat ter how much it may militate against party policy, has taken a calm survey of the field, and sums up its observa tions as follows: "So fur, during this year, the Demo crats, a.i an orgaiiizatioii distinct from tho opposition of tho administration party, in most of the States, have tak en the lead and maele substantial gains. Iu the spring they carries! New Hampshire anel Connecticut, gaining a United States Senator in tlw latter State. The first summer ejection was that of Oregon, and there) again they vero victorious. Then followed some local election, like that at Vicksburg, which reported Democratic gains; Kentucky repeated its usual vote by electing a Democratic State officer; Tennessee, tired of the persoal quar rels of Brownlow, Johnson ami May nard, has apparently been given up to the opposition in any shape it may as sume, and its shape there happens to be "Bourbon Democracy." Finally, North Carolina, as was linticipated, has reverseel its vote of 1872, anel given the Democrats a gain of two members of Congress. With this last result we shall expect to see the Dem ocratic newspapers bring out their roosters, and boast of their prospects in large heael lines. So many victories in bo short a time, without a single re" verso, would be enough to turn the heael of a steadier party them that which calls itself Democratic, and wo expect the Democratic party to indulge in excessive demonstrations of joy, and to build extravagant castles in the air for future occupation. t lltl SU THE 'VOIITTIEKN IIKAHT The completeness of the North. Car olina victory appears to have bewilder ed the Raelical leaelers, anel they are busy racking their brains to recover from their crushing elef eat. Ku Klnx and Southern outrages have run their course Judge Bonel has exhausted these subjects. The President, "glow ing circumspect," in the Texas, Peters burg and Vicksburg elections, has flatly refused to furnish troops for merely political purposes. C'pnsq- quently, some other device mnst be made to get troeips in tho Sonth to in fluence elections. It has not been forgotten how efficacious tho bayonet was in promoting the election of Radi cal officials, and just about now it is very desirable to bring people to their senses, for tho "party" must be upheld. Supervisor Perry, familiarly known as "Long Perry", as fine a specimen of a "pesky l'ankee" carpet-bagger as the country furnishes, has been on to Washington City, and his fertilo brain has already devisee! a taking scheme to fill our State with Federal troops. A correspondent of the New York Jfrrald writes from Washington City as follows in regard to this plan of Long Perry : So great a victory on the part of the Democrats, ho fears, will encourage illicit distillation, and he will ask that military posts bo establisheel in the parts of the State where it has already been suppressed. This is, to bo suro, a very shallow pretence for establishing military posts, and placing the State under semi-military government, but Perry is in trouble and he does not stop at trifles. "Let ns carry the State" is his cry.anel he believes that tho strong arm of power is the only means to ac complish it. Therefore he would recommend an outlay of a million of dollars to maintain a standing army to save the Government one thousanel elollars in the way of internal revenue. Too late, "Long Perry." The elay has gone when Southern elections can be carried by Federal bayonets. Depenel rq:on the negroes or give up the ship. Your party has staked all upon the negro.

It really seems high time that the wires should be relieved of somewhat of tho load pressing upon them each elay by the reports of the disgusting Brooklyn scandal.

XI.. Atlantic! Hotft,, Bkat-fov.t. August l lth, 1S7:1. Dear Journal : I hardly suppose any of our readers will begrudge tho Editors of the Journal a few days of rest after the arduous demands of the late canvass. Having acted upon this supposition, anel upon tho suggestions of over worketl humanity, I hare sought this delightful resort for a few days, and only a for few days sojourn, expecting to be atir.y post'ngain even before this reaches the eyes of our readers. I find everything pleasant here. A good company of the very best people ia the Stale, numerous amuse ments, fine companions, and, as I am not yet too old for such enjoyments, many leautnui young unties wno icnu .... i IT- 1 t 1 grace and charm, to the place. I am glad to meet here ex Governor Gra ham, -alio seems in much better health than when I last saw him. Mr. George V. Strong, of Raleigh, who bore the banner of onr party ho successfully in Wake, and lcel our vanguard in the re cent successful attack on the enemy's heretofore impregnable works in that county, is spending a few days here in well-earned leasure and quiet. Ced. R. T. Bennett, of Anson, is a guest at the Atlantic, and adds much to our social recreation. Mr. W. J. Yates, of the Charlotte Jhniocrat, with a portion of his interesting fami ly, are also here. Wilmington is largely anel agreably representee!, and with Charlote and Raleigh, nnel Fay etteville, anel Edgee'ombe, furnishes a large proportion of the visitors. The ball-room, which is by odds the best arranged ami most commodious dancing hall in the country, presents an invitinc scene every evening. Here tho belles of Wilmington, Raleigh, lay etteville and Charlotte, divide the mvlfl and graceful honors of the oc casion. I linvo looked cn m nunnrincr in terest anel seen at leat one f tattle, won, if q hearts have been lost. Nor shall I be so invidious as t compue the relative merits of each, or e ven of lo calities. Wilmington has no cause to blush at the f'owers she furnishes to thn beautiful bonnuet which adorns ? the Atlantic And Charlotte and Fay etteville have just cause to be proud of their contributions. Just as we mourn the loss of Raleigh's attractive flowerets Anson culls one of her love liest blossoms to complete the bouquet. Altogether one must travel far to wit ness a more beautiful sight than tho ball roem of the Atlantic nightly af fords. The season is now well nigh at hand when tho blue fish will bo plentiful those foolish fish "vhich are content to snap at the naked hook.while you enjoy the bate, comf ortably wrapped up in a little ice-water just to take the taste out of your month. Well, you know how it is yourself, and if you tlont our frienel from Lake Waccamaw can tell you all about it when he gets back. Jfc knows. There havo been already a few suc cessful fishing parties, anel as tho wind is in the proper quarter we pro pose to try it tc-morrow. One of tho chief pleasures of Beau fort is tho surf bathing. It is not only pleasant.but it is no unseemly sight to see forty or fifty laelies and gentlemen buffeting the waves, arrayed in every fashion of dress in which the various colors of the rainbow vie with each other in generous rivalry to lend varie ty to the scene. Some of the young ladies seem much at home in the water, and stand the trying ordeal of the bath with the same ease and beauty with which they glide through the graceful mazes of the dance. It is certainly a fascinating and healthful sport. The hotel is still quito croweled, but on Tuesday a large number of guests leave, anel there will be a number of desirable rooms vacant. Those who wish to spenel a few days or weeks at this delightful resort might avail themselves of this opportunity of elo ing se, as many have been unable here tofore to secure accommodations. I can assuro them that Mr. eavlotte, the very gentlemanly and obliging proprietor, will elo all in his power to rer.eler them couifortablo anel make their time pass agreeably. Beaufort is now tho North Carolina resort, anel its popularity is on the increase. I heipe the success which has attended the improvement and enlargement of tho Atlantic will warrant tho owner in making still further improvements and adding still more to its capacity. Its present sizo has proved entirely inade quate fer the elemauel for room this summer, and many have been disap pointed! who desired to spend some portiem ef the heated term here. I am sure nothing will bo left unelone, within reason, lo add to the attractions. I find tho people here, as elsewhere that I have been, full of gratefulness at our recent great victories. A sher iff of a neighboring county, eleclares that he don't know how he can wait until Thursday next before he goes to Wilmington to "carry the news to Hiram." The laws' delays, however, curb his enthusiasm. The gooel peo ple of this county are ashamed of the result of tiie election in Carteret, and I think hae been taught a lesson by which they will profit. That eighteen carat fraud Captain Appleton O. Smith, I believe is his name, will find himself unablo to elo mischief in the Legislature, and will not be allowed to injure the fpeople whom he has duped. I have confidence iu these people, and you may rely upon old Carteret in the future. E. ii:it i i:n;i.. The most elolorous doloronsness that the result of the election has call ed forth, breaks out in tho last issue of the Statesvilie American, a paper w'.iose conductors are Southern born white men, who ought to be alive to ail of the trno interests of their section and State, and who had about as much mo for the "odious Yankees" (before tho war) as thev now have for the ad vocates of Civil Rights. We are sorry, but can't help them. They have made their own bed and must lie on it. We are glad to see a thorough appreeia tion of the state of affairs by them, and that they have penetration enough to charge the elefeat of their party on its own blackdiearteel leaders. But here is what tho American says: Tho result of the election iu this State surprises no one. Tho Bepubli cans did net expect to elect their can didates. How could the'y? The "Civil Right" Republicans of tho North formed an alhanco with the Kn-Klux Democrats of the State under the ban ner ef that odious anel accursed meas ure, as if on purpose to insure a elefeat of the Republicans of tho btate, anel behold the result! Jt was lm nossible to contend against 6uch odds and carry such a weight. which could but crush tho gallant hand that had to contend single-handed. There is not a white Republican iu North Carolina, and verv few col ored, that favor the "Civil Rights bill." But it, was in va;n that assur nnces of this was made to the people 11, was in vain the people were told that this odious measure hael been stayed in Cemgress by Republican votes iu opposition lo it, and that it cjuld not pass that body; that it would be better to elect Republicans who wore oppose tl to it. than to elect I'emocrate.

The front and rear eloors of the house were open anel the housekeeper was sitting in the passage, sewing, facing the front tloor, when a sneak thief entereel tho back door and, procedmg to Dr. J? ree- man's room, quietly made up a bundle of his best clothes, among them a new suit of broadcloth just sent home from the tailor s, anel then quietly decamp ed, carrying off with him also a set of stueis uud a oounr nutton tnat were on the bureau at the time. As he iaor creel from the room he was seen by the housekeeper, who hailed him, as also diet some colored children in the yarel, but he succeeeled in making off with his booty. He is described as a short, thick-set yellow fellow, about seven teen or eighteen years old, but his local habitation and his name are un known. Information was lodged at the police office and it is possible the stolen articles may yet be recovered. The value of the articles is eitimated at about 120. Our Majorities in the Congression al Districts. Major Jesse J. Yeates' majority in the First District will reach some 1, f00. This is a Democratic gain of somo 3,eTO0. The first District may well feel proud of the exchange from Cobb to Yeates. Col. A. M. Waeldell obtaineel a ma jority of 1,600 in the Third District. This re-endorsement of Col Waeldell by the people of that District meets with the approbation of the Conserva tives of the whole State. Capt. Jos. J. Davis, in the Fourth District, obtained a majority of 1,636, a gain of some 2,200. The warmest frienels of Mr. Davis could not have desired a more flattering result, and the District could not have been placed in more honorable hands. In tho Fifth District Gen. A. M. Scales obtained a majority of some 1,600. Gen. Scales is a fit successor to Gen. Leach, and will do honor to his District and his State. Hon. W. M. Robbins has been re turned from the Sixth District by a majority of some 4,000, carrying every county in his District. We are pleased to see this hearty enelorsement of Mr. Robbins by his people. In the Seventh and Eighth Districts Mr. Ashe and General Vance have been returned by large majorities. General Vance beating Plato Durham, the Independent, by a handsome ma jority, although the individual popu larity of Capt. Durham proved a tre mendous barrier in his way. The Second District alone sends a Republican, the negro John Hyman, a fitting representative of the party that elected him. llaleigh News.
